I am grateful for the dirty dishes in my sink. So grateful that I decided to take a picture! Not only did I take a picture but I will post it on my blog! Why? Because instead of letting them bother me and wonder why I can't get everything done I decided to be grateful.
Anna has been sick the last few days. Most of the time I haven't done anything besides be by her side caring for her. Yesterday after a long day of movies, stories, cuddle time, applesauce, lots of water and napping I walked into the kitchen and saw my pile of dishes (no, this isn't all of them). I recalled a friend of mine telling me to always remember that "Dishes can wait". Today they are evidence that I have a little girl to take care of who needs me more that I need to do my dishes. I am grateful for her and I am thankful to be her mom. I'm thankful that she wants me by her side and that I can comfort her when she is sick. I love her. I'm glad I have spent my time with her. She won't always be this little and need me in this way. I'll choose being with her over dishes any day :)
